You have misunderstood the list. The part of the list under Hardware only works when you have a Hardware keyboard = bluetooth connected to your device. The screen keyboard only has the options listed under Software.


You have to ask Apple to add Russian Phonetic to the Software list via

A non-phonetic keyboard isn't possible.


The term "phonetic" applied to a keyboard layout normally means that the symbol which represents the "d" sound in another script is created by typing the "d" key on an English qwerty layout, and so on. Many non-latin scripts customarily use layouts that differ from that, but now have "phonetic" alternatives which make it easier for users who have learned to type on qwerty.
